The Maxillofacial Team at Forth Valley Royal Hospital have received a fantastic £1,500, thanks to a donation from a local man.

Andrew Purdie, from Bo’ness, wanted to say thank you to staff after the care and treatment he received after maxillofacial surgery. The cash was raised after a fundraising night was held at Tryst Golf Club in Larbert with musical entertainment being provided by a local band, The Chappelles, in which two of Andrew’s sons perform.
